Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies

I’ve making this Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies recipe since my oldest daughter was a baby. I believe the recipe originally came from a free milk calendar that was delivered to my door many moons ago. Once you try it yourself, you’ll see why it’s become a favourite in our home. If you love the peanut butter chocolate combination, you must try this recipe!

The bottom layer is a rich fudgy brownie which would be tasty on its own. However, it gets even better when you add a smooth peanut butter cheesecake topping. Cheesecake is my absolute favourite dessert so I can never resist this dessert even when I’m watching my weight.

Sprinkled throughout the cheesecake topping are bits of the brownie batter. Swirl them through the cheesecake to create a marble design if you like.

Whenever I make these treats, they are always gobbled up in no time flat. It’s nice to see my picky kids enjoying what I make!

You can’t go wrong with this perfect combination. Cheesecake + Brownies and Peanut Butter + Chocolate. It’s a match made in dessert heaven.

Topping

Directions:

Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter in the microwave for one minute. Stir. Pour into a bowl. Add milk and stir to combine. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth.

In another bowl, stir sugar, flour and cocoa powder. Add to chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Measure out 1/4 cup of mixture and set aside for later. Spread the rest of the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan.

Topping

Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, egg and milk with a mixer on medium speed until smooth.

Melt REESE Peanut Butter Chips in the microwave for one minute. Stir together until completely melted. Pour into mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until smooth.

Pour peanut butter mixture on top of chocolate mixture in the prepared pan.

Add dollops of the reserved chocolate mixture on top of the peanut butter mixture in the pan and swirl with a knife.

Bake for 38 to 40 minutes or until set. Cool completely before serving.

Oh wow. These look amazing and would be a hit at my house. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday. Pinned.

This delicious recipe is a combination of two favorites-peanut butter and chocolate. After I read this recipe, I saved it. It will be made for special occasions as I might eat half the squares myself! Thank you so much for this recipe.
